Dirk van Asseldonk

Strategic Advisor / Founder

In 2008 Dirk van Asseldonk started our ventilation business together with Prof. Dr. med. Dietmar Enk. Dietmar had invented and developed a first prototype of a novel manual ventilator, which was the basis of our Ventrain. This unique idea filled-in the “last white spot on the map of patient ventilation”: it would enable to save a choking patient by providing ventilation through only a needle inserted through the front of the neck. Indeed, Ventrain has been life-saving! In 2022 Dirk has decided to step out as CEO but he remains involved as Strategic Advisor.
